Third-Party Analytics Tools and COPPA Requirements in Oklahoma
If your website or online service is directed to children under the age of 13, or if you have actual knowledge that you are collecting personal information from children under 13, you must comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) [1].
Under COPPA, you are required to provide parents with notice of your information practices, obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children, and give parents the option to review and delete their child’s personal information [1].
Regarding the use of third-party analytics tools, COPPA allows website operators to use such tools without parental consent if the third-party service provider meets certain requirements, such as not collecting personal information from users for its own purposes and not sharing the information with third parties [1].
However, it is important to note that COPPA does not require website operators to inform third parties of the child-directed nature of their site or service [1].
In Oklahoma, there are no additional state-specific requirements for the use of third-party analytics tools on websites or online services directed to children. However, it is important to ensure that any third-party service provider you use complies with COPPA requirements [1].
Therefore, if your website or online service is directed to children under 13, or if you have actual knowledge that you are collecting personal information from children under 13, you must comply with COPPA requirements when using third-party analytics tools.
